Betrayed : Scandal, Politics, and Canadian Naval Leadership Paperback / softback
by Richard O. Mayne
Part of the Studies in Canadian Military History series
Paperback / softback
Description
In January 1944, Vice Admiral Percy Walker Nelles was fired from his position as head of the Royal Canadian Navy.
Betrayed reveals the true story behind the dismissal: a divisive power struggle between two elite groups within the RCN pitted the navy’s regular officers against a small group of self-appointed spokesmen for the voluntary naval reserve.
Threats of public scandal, mass insurrection, and political intimidation caused one of the worst breakdowns in Canadian civil-military relations, revealing complex aspects of military professionalism and leadership. This fascinating investigation into the machinations of a divided navy tackles important questions of military professionalism, leadership, and identity.
Betrayed will appeal to readers interested in military history and security studies, political science, and sociology.
